Transport was paralysed along Kangundo Road in Komarock, Nairobi County, after matatu operators staged protests over the deplorable condition of the road, which they said had significantly hurt their businesses.
The operators accused government agencies of ignoring repeated calls to repair the road, prompting them to take to the streets.
Videos and images seen by Kenyans.co.ke depicted the operators burning tires as some of them lay on roads to express their frustrations.
Police officers within the locality, however, chose not to engage them and allowed them to protest. An image of a bonfire lit in Komarock on Kangundo road over poor state of the road network on April 7, 2025.
